Vegan Almond Banana Bread
You'd never guess this vegan almond banana bread is made from plant-based, whole-food ingredients - it's sweet and delicious and goes perfectly with coffee!
Servings 1 Banana Bread Loaf
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 Cups Spelt Flour
- 1/3 Cup Almonds chopped
- 1/3 Cup Pecans chopped
- 1/3 Cup Shredded Coconut
- 1 Tsp Baking Powder
- 1 Tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 Tsp Cinnamon
- Pinch of Sea Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 Cups Mashed Bananas
- 1/4 Cup Strongly Brewed Coffee
- 1/3 Cup Maple Syrup
- 1/3 Cup Coconut Oil melted
- 1 Tsp Almond Extract
Topping
- Chopped Almonds optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Start by mashing the bananas. Usually 5 bananas yields about 2 cups, but this will completely depend on the size of the bananas.
- In a bowl, add mashed bananas and all other wet ingredients. Mix until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix together dry ingredients until everything is evenly combined.
- Pour wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, and mix until the batter is smooth and evenly combined.
- Pour batter into a bread loaf pan lined with parchment paper. Top with chopped almonds, if you like.
- Bake banana bread in the oven for about 30-40 minutes. To test if the banana bread is fully cooked, stick a knife or toothpick in the center and see if it comes out clean. If any batter is still stuck on, continue cooking the bread for 5-10 minute intervals until it comes out clean.
- When the bread is done, let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
- Enjoy!
Notes
If you don't have spelt flour on hand, sub whole wheat. Also for this recipe I used a standard 9" x 5" loaf pan!
